Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates in Columbiana County, Ohio
3 Davis-Bacon wage determinations cover Columbiana County for building, residential, highway and heavy construction, with 115 rates across 28 trades. Of each trade's main rate, elevator constructor is the highest at $95.77 an hour and teamster the lowest at $23.02, base plus fringe.
The Department of Labor modifies these determinations on SAM.gov in weekly batches through the year; the latest Ohio modification we hold is dated September 17, 2026. A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Ohio also sets its own rates (ORC 4115, Department of Commerce); on jobs covered by both, pay the higher. Ohio's rates sit behind an OHID login on its prevailing wage portal, so this site shows the Davis-Bacon rates only.
